Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Wilson, Ohio (ZIP 43716) comes out in the bottom 17% nationally (26,474th) and the bottom 18% of Ohio (961st).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 8.3% nationally, childcare rests in the top 8.6% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies in the top 10.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 10.6% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Set against that, households without a vehicle registers in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled mammography stands in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and modeled tooth loss is in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the top 13.3% nationally.
In plain terms, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 43718, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.85 years of 77.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
